There are two classes of membrane transport proteins—carriers<span> and </span>channels<span>. Both form continuous </span>protein<span> pathways across the lipid bilayer. Whereas transport by </span>carriers<span> can be either active or passive, solute flow through </span>channel proteins<span> is always passive.</span>
<span>Similarities and differences between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>
Ossification is the process of bone formation. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification are the two main processes of bone formation that occur during fetal development.
</span>Similarities between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>; they turn cartilage into bones during bone formation and they both involve bone cells such as calcium, vascular supply and osteoblasts.
</span>Differences between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>; In intramembranous ossification, an intermediate cartilage is not involved, rather the bone tissue is directly laid on a primitive connective tissue called mesenchyma while in endochondral ossification, cartilage is used as a precursor for bone formation. Also, in cases of fractures, the healing process by plaster of Paris occurs through endochondral ossification while fractures which are treated by open reduction and internal fixation are healed by intramembranous ossification.

The type of organisms that take energy by eating up other organisms in an ecosystem are called 'CONSUMERS'. Now these consumers are further divided into three major classes:
1. Primary consumers: this type of consumers feed directly from the producers (plants) and they only eat grass, leaves, vegetables, etc. Such animals are also called herbivores. Example: rabbit
2. Secondary consumers: these are the animals that eat up primary consumers (animals that feed only on plants). These animals are called carnivores. Example: snake
3. Tertiary consumers: animals that eat carnivores which eats a herbivore are called tertiary consumers. They can be completely carnivore or omnivore (who feed on animals and plants both). Example: humans (they feed on animals and plants both)
<span>The answer to this question would be:
- The permanent thermocline presents a barrier that keeps nutrients in deeper water from mixing with surface waters.
- The sunlight penetrates deep into the tropical ocean, warming the surface waters and creating stratification of water masses.
In tropical lands, the area is getting sunlight all around the year. This will cause the plant to be able to do photosynthesis all around the year too. Sunlight can penetrate the ocean, but the intensity will be much lower in deeper part. The ocean also become warmer but it will become cold in the deeper part too. </span>
Layer that is 0.2 to 1.1 percent of Earth's total diameter is the thinnest layer of the Earth- Crust.
So, the correct answer is: oxygen and silicone. The crust consists of tectonic plates (in relative motion one from another) and has 5–70 km (~3–44 miles) in depth. The most abundant elements of this layer are: oxygen-46.6 percent by weight; silicon-27.7 percent; aluminum-8.1 percent; iron-5 percent.
